What we did

Today was our normal operations from here on out: We had a fight and intimacy call, moving forward to a full run of the show! Today was our first full off book run and it went mostly smoothly. After that, we did notes, finished our fight choreography with Jake, and then cleaned up specific moments in the play. 

Quick and Quotable

• From the Play
  • “It is the purpose that makes strong the vow, / But vows to every purpose must not hold.” – Cassandra

This is Cassandra telling Hector that he must abandon his vows (To God, his family, his kingdom) in order to keep his life.

• From the Director
  • “That’s cool; make the praying louder” – Jake, the fight director
  • “You’re there stalking about her door.” – Mili

• From the Cast
  • “Knock! Knock, knock, knock!” – Hudson

Production Insights 

Being able to see everything come together was so much fun. I was able to see all stories begin and end, and witness all of the camper’s hard work come to fruition. They all entered focused, ready, and excited to have everything on its feet. We are all ready for our break day tomorrow, and to come back to rehearsal in the Playhouse on Monday.
